Yes this is a worthwhile read in my opinion. I came across it quite a few years back but with this link I think that I will be reading it again. Thanks for the heads up Charl cool.gif

Edit:
for those who are interested here is the url for these files (you will probably have to be logged in I suspect)

The link doesn't work. I guess I'll have to do it by hand! Good to see my log in still works. I still keep interested in FS and real world aviation even though I don't post much anymore.

Real world is in the way. I'll have more time once kids are grown just a wee bit more and badly needed maintenance on all my broken down machines are done. Today the lawnmower has pushed itself to the front of the queue.

Good to see some familiar faces here and a whole heap of new ones. This place has grown like my lawns. \m/

I believe posting the e-book at flightsim, together with a link to the FS9 model, is a strong nudge to Have A Go.
While I'm not about to sit for 11 hour stretches white-knuckled in fog, I thought I'd look in here and there.

My Channel crossing took me perhaps a little north of track, over the beach at Dunkirque, courtesy of France VFR



What a funny little aeroplane to attempt such a huge trip...

Thanks Ian... yes he got revenge when a Russian airliner had to wait 30 minutes for him on the ramp, to finish his pre-flight!

Cliff also talked about not being able to see the starboard wing, well here's the reason.



The tank also helped gravity feed in extreme conditions!

The flightsim model is a little dated now, but you know what? it adds to the feel of getting the job done with a bit of #8 wire.
